John Cleese is featured as a thoroughly inefficient chairperson who dreams he is hauled up before a court for negligent conduct of meetings. After reviewing the offender's last few conferences, the court pronounces him guilty on all five counts: failing to prepare himself, failing to inform others, failing to plan the agenda, failing to control the discussion and failing to record the decisions. The judge then demonstrates that the discipline and logic needed to conduct a court case parallel those needed to run an effective business meeting.

Using humor and insight, John Cleese illustrates the essential skills that will ensure efficient, effective work sessions. Banish unproductive meetings from your organization forever with Meetings, Bloody Meetings.
